Love At First Bite


How I Acthuly Met Headphones

When Jum Jum and I stopped being friends, I had to find new ones because ( I will not sit by myself. ) 

After recess, we’d all stand under the scorching sun, chanting our school’s motto. What made it bearable was that pink, perfectly glazed donut topped with rainbow sprinkles.

After chanting like a bunch of cult followers, it was time to go back to class. Since all of us had to head back upstairs, the usual stampede happened; it was a choking hazard (THE ATROCIOUS SMELL OF B.O ROAMED THE HALLS). As I dodged the sea of fifth graders (I was one of them), I raised my sacred donut to the sky so it wouldn't get squashed by the oncoming traffic. Dodging and turning, going through so many challenges to take a bite, the perfect bite.

I finally reached the top of the flight of stairs, finally safe. Then out of nowhere, a head popped out of the crowd in the hallway, and ... NOM! 

... She took a bite ... Out of my donut, MY DONUT!

I was flabbergasted. Like, what goes through someone's head to just take a bite of a stranger's donut?! LIKE, WHO DOES THAT??? But after I met Headphones, I let it slide.


So yeah, sometimes you don’t find a friend through common interests... but through a shared love of sprinkle donuts.
